Hi everyone,
I am currently working in consulting firm, which is specialized in the construction field. As a civil engineer, my job is to help the manufacturers (Knauf, Saint-Gobain, LafargeHolcim...) to developp new products that wil meet the market demand.
As so, my job goes from market studies with interviews of relevant actors, small calculations (*), to recommandations that take into accounts all the technical and marketing aspects of a product.
*: As a civil engineer, I have studied many technical fields as structure, thermic, acoustic, fire... Thus i can understand the problematic and the technicals aspects/concepts of each field, but my abilities in calculation are limited since I am not specialized in any of it (let's say I can do calculations but I have to go back into my books and it takes me 3 more times than a specialized engineer).
What I do is interesting, I love the technicals aspects of my job, and there is always to learn. The problem is I stay 90% of my time behind a computer, and there is a little bit a lack of passion.
--> So, does anyone know if scuba gear manufaturers recruit in their marketing/R&D teams?
Because, as I imagine it (I may be wrong): this could be an awesome job: developping new scuba products (market studies, R&D...) , then go test them yourself while diving, and finally adjust them...
This would enable me to keep a job with all those marketing/technical aspects; while diving, which is a passion for me (and it would maybe enable me to be less in front of a computer...).
I have been looking for it on a lot of manufacturers websites, but none seems to recruit for such a job. I guess I could contact them directly, and I will, but I would like to have some feedback before.
So, if anyone has some information/contacts... I would be very greatfull.
Thanks for reading this long post
